Kolente virus, a rhabdovirus species isolated from ticks and bats in the Republic of Guinea

..These results reveal that individuals can harbor influenza viruses that differ in major phenotypic properties, including those that are antigenically distinct and those that differ in their sensitivity to antiviral agents...

Brugia malayi gene expression in response to the targeting of the Wolbachia endosymbiont by tetracycline treatment

..Elimination of the endosymbiont leads to sterilization of the adult female. Previous biochemical and genetic studies have established that communication with its endobacterium is essential for survival of the worm...

..Radiation effects are especially interesting because irradiated L3 induce partial immunity to filarial infections. The underlying molecular mechanisms responsible for the efficacy of such vaccines are unkown...

Unseasonal transmission of H3N2 influenza A virus during the swine-origin H1N1 pandemic

..These results suggest that the unseasonal transmission of influenza A viruses may be more widespread than is usually supposed...

..The presence of identical DI-like RNAs in patients linked by direct contact is compatible with transmission between them. The functional role of DI-like RNAs in natural infections remains to be established. ..

..malayi to niches in its human and vector hosts and insights into the molecular basis of a mutualistic relationship with its Wolbachia endosymbiont. These findings offer a foundation for rational drug design...
